Objective

To explore the method of constructing a prognostic nomogram prediction model for cervical cancer patients with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and after-loading therapy, and establish prognostic risk stratification system based on this model.

Methods

A total of 258 cervical cancer patients who received IMRT and after-loading therapy in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital / Jiangsu Institute of Cancer Research / Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2015 to December 2016 were selected as study subjects. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the overall survival (OS) curves of cervical cancer patients with different clinical factors, and Log-rank test was used for comparison. Multiple Cox proportional risk regression analysis was used to screen independent risk factors that affect the prognosis of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy, and rms package of R software was used to build nomogram prediction model, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) and calibration curve were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the nomogram prediction model for predicting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy. The recursive partition analysis (RPA) method was used to predict individual risk scores of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy based on nomogram model, and prognostic risk stratification system of cervical cancer patients was constructed. The procedures followed in this study complied with the regulations of the Ethics Committee of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital and have been reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee (Approval No. 2023-017). All patients signed clinical research consent form.

Results

①Among 258 cervical cancer patients, complete remission (CR) rate after IMRT and after-loading therapy was 74.4% (192/258), partial remission (PR) rate was 20.9% (54/258), and total clinical effective rate was 95.3% (246/258). ②The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS rates of 258 cervical cancer patients were 93.8%, 79.5%, and 64.0%, respectively. Univariate analysis of prognostic factors for cervical cancer patients by Log-rank test showed that age (χ2=4.25, P=0.039), pathological type (χ2=15.41, P<0.001), International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (χ2=22.17, P<0.001), with or without lymph node metastasis (χ2=28.37, P<0.001), concurrent chemotherapy (χ2=10.99, P=0.004), induction and sequential chemotherapy (χ2=14.34, P<0.001), and short-term efficacy of IMRT and after-loading therapy (χ2=68.67, P<0.001) were all factors affecting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy (χ2=68.672, P<0.001). ③Results of multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis showed that non squamous cell carcinoma cervical cancer patients (HR=2.404, 95%CI: 2.305-3.577, P=0.005), FIGO stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ (HR=2.455, 5.374; 95%CI: 2.386-3.609, 3.221-6.507; P=0.006, <0.001), with lymph node metastasis (HR=4.325, 95%CI: 2.189-6.420, P<0.001), lack of concurrent chemotherapy (HR=1.730, 95%CI: 1.359-2.811, P=0.040), PR and no response after IMRT and after-loading therapy were all independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy. ④Nomogram prediction model was constructed based on results of the above multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis to predict the prognosis of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy. ROC-AUC of the nomogram prediction model for predicting 3-year and 5-year OS rates of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy were 0.827 (95%CI: 0.731-0.923, P<0.001) and 0.789 (95%CI: 0.695-0.883, P<0.001), respectively, indicating that the prediction model had high discriminability for 3-year and 5-year OS rates of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy. The calibration curve analysis results of the predicted model showed that the calibration curves of 3-year and 5-year OS rates of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy were close to the ideal curves, and the fitting was well reflected, indicating that the predicted 3-year OS rates of cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT and after-loading therapy were relatively consistent with the actual OS rates, and the calibration was good. ⑤Based on the risk score of cervical cancer patients predicted by the nomogram prediction model, prognostic risk stratification system for cervical cancer patients was constructed with the RPA method, in which all cervical cancer patients were divided into four groups: extremely low risk group (risk score<138 points), low risk group (138 points≤risk score<214 points), medium risk group (214 points≤risk score<274 points), and high risk group (risk score≥274 points). Validation results among cervical cancer patients with different FIGO stages showed that the risk stratification system can distinguish the 3-year and 5-year OS rates of the extremely low risk group, low risk group, medium risk group, and high risk group in FIGO stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ cervical cancer patients, and all differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).

Conclusions

This study constructs nomogram prediction model for predicting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients treated with IMRT and after-loading therapy based on five factors: pathological type, FIGO staging, with lymph node metastasis, concurrent chemotherapy, and short-term efficacy of IMRT and after-loading therapy, and the model has good discrimination and calibration, and can effectively predict the prognosis of cervical cancer patients after treatment of IMRT and after-loading therapy. The prognostic risk stratification system for cervical cancer patients constructed based on this prediction model has certain clinical value.
